WILCO - Leak Test - WILCOMAT R MC/LFC

Wilco Leak Test Machine for Ampoules, model Wilcomat R MC/LFC

Rotary type leak tester for both small and large BFS products. The machines are designed and built according to latest GMP guidelines.

The containers are fed to the tester on a conveyor belt. An especially designed in feed star wheel positions the containers continuously onto the test rotor directly underneath one of the testing station. Once positioned, the test chambers close and seal by a mechanically cam driven system. Once sealed, a patented vacuum based leak test will detect smallest leaks anywhere on the containers by analyzing the applied test vacuum for any changes over time. A special 2-step approach assures the detection of large leaks in a fraction of a second, thereby avoiding contamination of the test chambers. After the testing, the containers are released from the testing station and are moved back onto the out feed conveyor belt. Only containers which have passed both leak tests are allowed to continue on. Leaky containers are rejected by a fail-safe reject mechanism.
